In Episode 32 of Hidden Forces, host Demetri Kofinas speaks with crypto fund manager Ari Paul. Ari is co-founder and CIO of BlockTower Capital, a hedge fund focused exclusively on the cryptocurrency space. Before his move into cryptocurrencies, Ari was a portfolio manager for the University of Chicago’s $8 billion endowment, as well as a derivatives market maker and proprietary trader for Susquehanna International Group (SIG). Ari earned a BA in political science from the University of Pennsylvania, and an MBA from the University of Chicago with concentrations in economics, entrepreneurship, strategic management, and econometrics & statistics.
In our last conversation with crypto fund manager Chris Burniske, we learned about the models that some of the most forward-looking investors are using to value cryptocurrencies. In this episode, we learn how some of the most advanced and sophisticated crypto fund managers are trading them, beginning with Ari Paul.
How are crypto fund managers managing risk? What are the existential risk factors to such a new and fledgling market? What benchmarks are used for measuring the performance of a crypto fund? Is the benchmark bitcoin, cryptocurrencies, or the broader equity markets? How does a cryptocurrency investor seek alpha in an already uncorrelated asset class? How might the flood of institutional capital alter these correlations? What does a consolidation in cryptocurrencies look like? Are we verging near a collapse in valuations, and if so, what sorts of tools are available for shorting an overheating market?
We also take a look at cash-settled futures markets, consider the use of put and call options, and explore ways of protecting ourselves from counterparty and exchange risk. Finally, we examine some of the most interesting and creative investment opportunities for making money in cryptocurrencies and what you can do in order to take advantage of them.

Cryptocurrencies and Blockchain technology are on fashion. Then again, this is still a pretty uncertain world, unregulated and with pretty little legal safety. When it comes to Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs), scams have multiplied in the latest years. ICOs have become a common way for getting funding for a startup. Instead of looking for a VC fund, you launch your own cryptocurrency and let private investors buy and trade those. But, being on a complete legal void, it is fairly easy to scam and cheat. A lot of people have already lost their money.
But all of this is about to change. There is one country that wants to pioneer ICO regulation: Switzerland. Having the World’s biggest crypto company, this country has the best Blockchain experts. Their government understands the potential this technology has. But they don’t want to let scammers spoil it. In this video, we will explain you how are they gonna do it.

Venture capital

Venture capital (VC) is money provided to seed early-stage, emerging and emerging growth companies. Venture capital funds invest in companies in exchange for equity in the companies they invest in, which usually have a novel technology or business model in high technology industries, such as biotechnology and IT. The typical venture capital investment occurs after a seed funding round as the first round of institutional capital to fund growth (also referred to as Series A round) in the interest of generating a return through an eventual exit event, such as an IPO or trade sale of the company. Venture capital is a type of private equity.

In addition to angel investing, equity crowdfunding and other seed funding options, venture capital is attractive for new companies with limited operating history that are too small to raise capital in the public markets and have not reached the point where they are able to secure a bank loan or complete a debt offering. In exchange for the high risk that venture capitalists assume by investing in smaller and less mature companies, venture capitalists usually get significant control over company decisions, in addition to a significant portion of the companies' ownership (and consequently value).

The name "hedge fund" originated from the paired long and short positions that the first of these funds used to hedge market risk. Over time, the types and nature of the hedging concepts expanded, as did the different types of investment vehicles. Today, hedge funds engage in a diverse range of markets and strategies and employ a wide variety of financial instruments and risk management techniques.

The first CRYPTO was held in 1981. It was the first major conference on cryptology, and was all the more important because relations between government, industry and academia were rather tense. Encryption was considered a very sensitive subject and the coming together of delegates from different countries was unheard-of at the time. The initiative for the formation of the IACR came during CRYPTO '82, and CRYPTO '83 was the first IACR sponsored conference.

SWITZERLAND: the CRYPTOCURRENCY capital? - VisualPolitik EN

Cryptocurrencies and Blockchain technology are on fashion. Then again, this is still a pretty uncertain world, unregulated and with pretty little legal safety. When it comes to Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs), scams have multiplied in the latest years. ICOs have become a common way for getting funding for a startup. Instead of looking for a VC fund, you launch your own cryptocurrency and let private investors buy and trade those. But, being on a complete legal void, it is fairly easy to scam and cheat. A lot of people have already lost their money.
But all of this is about to change. There is one country that wants to pioneer ICO regulation: Switzerland. Having the World’s biggest crypto company, this country has the best Blockchain experts. Their government understands the potential this te...

In Episode 32 of Hidden Forces, host Demetri Kofinas speaks with crypto fund manager Ari Paul. Ari is co-founder and CIO of BlockTower Capital, a hedge fund focused exclusively on the cryptocurrency space. Before his move into cryptocurrencies, Ari was a portfolio manager for the University of Chicago’s $8 billion endowment, as well as a derivatives market maker and proprietary trader for Susquehanna International Group (SIG). Ari earned a BA in political science from the University of Pennsylvania, and an MBA from the University of Chicago with concentrations in economics, entrepreneurship, strategic management, and econometrics & statistics.
In our last conversation with crypto fund manager Chris Burniske, we learned about the models that some of the most forward-looking investors are using to value cryptocurrencies. In this episode, we learn how some of the most advanced and sophisticated crypto fund managers are trading them, beginning with Ari Paul.
How are crypto fund managers managing risk? What are the existential risk factors to such a new and fledgling market? What benchmarks are used for measuring the performance of a crypto fund? Is the benchmark bitcoin, cryptocurrencies, or the broader equity markets? How does a cryptocurrency investor seek alpha in an already uncorrelated asset class? How might the flood of institutional capital alter these correlations? What does a consolidation in cryptocurrencies look like? Are we verging near a collapse in valuations, and if so, what sorts of tools are available for shorting an overheating market?
We also take a look at cash-settled futures markets, consider the use of put and call options, and explore ways of protecting ourselves from counterparty and exchange risk. Finally, we examine some of the most interesting and creative investment opportunities for making money in cryptocurrencies and what you can do in order to take advantage of them.

Cryptocurrencies and Blockchain technology are on fashion. Then again, this is still a pretty uncertain world, unregulated and with pretty little legal safety. When it comes to Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs), scams have multiplied in the latest years. ICOs have become a common way for getting funding for a startup. Instead of looking for a VC fund, you launch your own cryptocurrency and let private investors buy and trade those. But, being on a complete legal void, it is fairly easy to scam and cheat. A lot of people have already lost their money.
But all of this is about to change. There is one country that wants to pioneer ICO regulation: Switzerland. Having the World’s biggest crypto company, this country has the best Blockchain experts. Their government understands the potential this technology has. But they don’t want to let scammers spoil it. In this video, we will explain you how are they gonna do it.

In Episode 32 of Hidden Forces, host Demetri Kofinas speaks with crypto fund manager Ari Paul. Ari is co-founder and CIO of BlockTower Capital, a hedge fund focused exclusively on the cryptocurrency space. Before his move into cryptocurrencies, Ari was a portfolio manager for the University of Chicago’s $8 billion endowment, as well as a derivatives market maker and proprietary trader for Susquehanna International Group (SIG). Ari earned a BA in political science from the University of Pennsylvania, and an MBA from the University of Chicago with concentrations in economics, entrepreneurship, strategic management, and econometrics & statistics.
In our last conversation with crypto fund manager Chris Burniske, we learned about the models that some of the most forward-looking investors are using to value cryptocurrencies. In this episode, we learn how some of the most advanced and sophisticated crypto fund managers are trading them, beginning with Ari Paul.
How are crypto fund managers managing risk? What are the existential risk factors to such a new and fledgling market? What benchmarks are used for measuring the performance of a crypto fund? Is the benchmark bitcoin, cryptocurrencies, or the broader equity markets? How does a cryptocurrency investor seek alpha in an already uncorrelated asset class? How might the flood of institutional capital alter these correlations? What does a consolidation in cryptocurrencies look like? Are we verging near a collapse in valuations, and if so, what sorts of tools are available for shorting an overheating market?
We also take a look at cash-settled futures markets, consider the use of put and call options, and explore ways of protecting ourselves from counterparty and exchange risk. Finally, we examine some of the most interesting and creative investment opportunities for making money in cryptocurrencies and what you can do in order to take advantage of them.

SWITZERLAND: the CRYPTOCURRENCY capital? - VisualPolitik EN

Cryptocurrencies and Blockchain technology are on fashion. Then again, this is still a pretty uncertain world, unregulated and with pretty little legal safety. When it comes to Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs), scams have multiplied in the latest years. ICOs have become a common way for getting funding for a startup. Instead of looking for a VC fund, you launch your own cryptocurrency and let private investors buy and trade those. But, being on a complete legal void, it is fairly easy to scam and cheat. A lot of people have already lost their money.
But all of this is about to change. There is one country that wants to pioneer ICO regulation: Switzerland. Having the World’s biggest crypto company, this country has the best Blockchain experts. Their government understands the potential this technology has. But they don’t want to let scammers spoil it. In this video, we will explain you how are they gonna do it.

Venture capital

Venture capital (VC) is money provided to seed early-stage, emerging and emerging growth companies. Venture capital funds invest in companies in exchange for equity in the companies they invest in, which usually have a novel technology or business model in high technology industries, such as biotechnology and IT. The typical venture capital investment occurs after a seed funding round as the first round of institutional capital to fund growth (also referred to as Series A round) in the interest of generating a return through an eventual exit event, such as an IPO or trade sale of the company. Venture capital is a type of private equity.

In addition to angel investing, equity crowdfunding and other seed funding options, venture capital is attractive for new companies with limited operating history that are too small to raise capital in the public markets and have not reached the point where they are able to secure a bank loan or complete a debt offering. In exchange for the high risk that venture capitalists assume by investing in smaller and less mature companies, venture capitalists usually get significant control over company decisions, in addition to a significant portion of the companies' ownership (and consequently value).
